12 of helmets among injured e-scooter users is lower than that of all e-scooter riders, perhaps because riders wearing helmets are less likely to experience serious injuries because of the protective nature of the helmets. Helmet use among injured riders in 15 studies fell in the range of zero to 9% (excluding one finding of 25% in San Francisco, owing to a small sample size of n = 8)
